They also had a press conference later. During the press conference, Paul mentioned that he was certain of winning the fight. Moreover, he had a message for Fury’s brother, Tyson Fury. He said, “Tommy has so much to lose, his family is going to disown him when I knock him the f*** out. Sorry Tyson, I love you but it’s over for your brother.”
